And I am "one of them" a fisherman who really sees what goes on in the wild. I'll stop now. I like you guys just get bothered by the whole debate thing. Sorry guys:lipssealeGonzaga;692506; said:Just getting my 2 cents in.
You still don't understand the objections to the video. No one said it doesn't happen in the wild. I believe they said it doesn't happen A LOT and as frequently as you may believe.
These fish are in the wild and they have to eat what they can to survive. They are constantly moving and burning energy, different than what happens in your common home aquarium. So in the WILD, they will indeed eat the random rat, mouse, small bird that happen to be in their striking distance.
You can't use that argument with some of us that are objecting as we are probably IN the water more than you'd imagine.
Also, the mods on this site (at least this section) seem to let discussions go until the cursing and name calling starts. So we'll be here to educate the uneducated when each and every one of these videos/topics pop up.

I know for a fact that many of the people that gave the info opposing giving lmb mammal matter are out on the water way more than you think. I KNOW dredcon is out there probably dang near everyday. Its a job for most of those people....Oh and throwing a mouse in the water or fishing with them does not count as it "happening in the wild".

Never did I say I fished with mice, or thrown them in the water. I don't need to use live bait, and that just isn't right.

Wait a second... are you saying that this is a remedy for "erectile growth"?! lol I'm going to market these videos and sell them on ebay! lol j/k

I'm going to steer clear of the whole moral debate about feeding mice, etc. But, everything I've heard about LMB and personally observed seems like they are a lazy opportunistic fish. When I'm fishing, I practically have to drop my bait in front of the fish to get it to hit it. When I'm walking along shores looking into the water sometimes I can see bass just sitting still in one spot until they're either spooked or enticed by an easy meal.
Bass Pro/Outdoor World in Dania Beach, FL has a huge indoor aquarium (I think it's about 30,000 gal.) and they have several bass specimen in there. They just sit around most of the time, barely moving. When they do move they swim slow as hell, barely expending any calories. Other fish like the tarpon they pulled out of brackish water are constantly on the move. Hell, even the catfish in there swim around more than the bass.
Bill Dance Outdoors was my favorite bass fishing show, and he was always talking about working your lures slowly because bass instinctively try not to expend more calories hunting than what the meal will provide.
These fish are NOT that active.

Possibly because most of the areas that you are seeing these bass are in much warmer waters. I know for a fact here on Long Island that the bass are extremely active and aggresive. They are many types of bass. Florida bass are different in their own from a Northern Largemouth. Bill Dance is quite hilarious
I love it when they show him falling in! haha Good fisherman though.
